User reviews and opinions

good poduct Good product, best for this price I guess. The only thing I found was a wrong pixel on the screen, but Im not worry for that. POLAROID 15.4" DIGITAL FLAT PANEL TV. I THINK THIS IS A GREAT SMALLER SIZE TV AND NOT TOO EXPENSIVE.

The picture on this is nice and clear. My only issue is 1/2 the screen in darker than the other 1/2. Weird. The TV is very easy to set up and use. I bought it for my sewing room and I am very satisfied with it. Love this TV. Wanted a small kitchen TV and this was exactly what I needed. Nice and clear picture.

I received this TV in great condition, in fast delivery time. It works great in my kitchen and I would buy another for a gift.

Outdoor Antenna Safety Instructions
If an outdoor antenna is connected, follow the precautions below: An outdoor antenna should not be located in any area where it could come in contact with overhead power lines, or any other electric light or power circuits. When installing an outdoor antenna system, extreme caution should be taken to prevent contact with power lines. Direct contact with power lines may be fatal and should be avoided at all costs.
Section 810 of National Electrical Code (NEC) provides information with respect to proper grounding of the mast and supporting structure, grounding of the lead-in wire to an antenna discharge unit, size of grounding conductors, location of antenna discharge unit, connection to grounding electrodes, and requirements for the grounding electrode.

Connecting a TV Cable or an Antenna
Antenna Connection The antenna requirements for good color TV reception are more important than those for a black & white TV reception. For this reason, a good quality outdoor antenna is strongly recommended. The following is a brief explanation of the type of connection that is provided with the various antenna systems.
A 75-ohm system is generally a round cable (not included) with Ftype connector that can easily be attached to a terminal without tools.

F-type connector

75-ohm coaxial cable (round)
A 300-ohm system is a flat twin-lead cable (not included) that can be attached to a 75-ohm terminal through a 300-75-ohm adapter (not included).
300-ohm twin-lead cable (flat)
Use one of the following two diagrams when connecting an outdoor antenna. A: Shows how to use a VHF/UHF combination outdoor antenna. B: Shows how to use a separate VHF and/or UHF outdoor antenna.

Cable TV (CATV) Connection
This reminder is provided to call the CATV system installers attention to Article 820-40 of the National Electrical Code (NEC) that provides guidelines for proper grounding and, in particular, species that the cable ground shall be connected to the grounding system of the building accurately, or as close to the point of cable entry as possible. Use of this TV for other than private viewing of programs broadcasted on UHF, VHF or transmitted by cable companies for the use of the general public may require authorization from the broadcast/cable company, and/ or program owner. A 75-ohm coaxial cable connector is built into the set for easy hookup. When connecting the 75-ohm coaxial cable to the set, connect the 75ohm cable into the ANT. terminal. Some cable TV companies offer premium pay channels. Since the signals of these premium pay channels are scrambled, a cable TV converter/descrambler is generally provided to the subscriber by the cable TV company. This converter/descrambler is necessary for normal viewing of scrambled channels. (Set your TV to channel 3 or 4, typically one of these channels is used. If this is unknown, consult your cable TV company.) For more specic instructions on installing cable TV, consult your cable TV company. One possible method of connecting the converter/descrambler provided by your cable TV company is shown in the diagram below.
